How SWEEP it is...

SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS: 2012 WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS

did you get that? 

WORLD SERIES CHAMPS! THE SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS! WORLD CHAMPS!

After playing in six elimination games this postseason, and then continuing on to sweep the mighty Detroit Tigers in the Fall Classic -- it's all over, they've done it -- the San Francisco Giants are World Series Champions for the second time in three seasons! WOW!! There is just no way for me to explain the feeling and how this amazing feat happened. I am so happy and so proud. I mean, what else is there to say? I love "underdog" stories, especially when it's us that they've counted out.

Hi haters. We are the CHAMPIONS! It's cool though, there's plenty of room on that wagon. ;)

The Giants Win the Pennant!

This feeling is so surreal right now! Coming back from being down three games to one in the series to take it all. Wow! The cool thing? I was there during game six, when they took the series back to the Bay and pushed a game seven with a win! That was, by far, the best game atmosphere I have ever been to! Everyone was backing up the team from the beginning, standing for two strikes, and cheering on anything and everything positive. IT WAS AMAZING, to say the least. I'm still feeling elated, until the World Series anxiety sinks in. Black and orange, black and orange. Happy Orange October!

Congratulations, San Francisco Giants and fans!

Sleepless in Seattle

Last weekend, I took a trip to Seattle, Washington, with two of my colleagues. It was so much fun (after handling business, of course). We did A LOT of walking... uphill and downhill walking; what a workout! As predicted, it rained throughout the course of our stay, although not too much. Our hotel location was perfect as it was within walking distance of many destinations like Pike Place Market and the Space Needle. We had a variety of chowders from Pike Place Chowder, and I have been craving more ever since. So delicious! We went to Chinatown, where we introduced our "Mejicana" to some "Chinito" goodies and lifestyle. We also "Gangnam Styled" during one of our walks in the park. We found a few bars to watch baseball and football games at, which was pretty cool. I do have to say though -- parking there sucks; that or we are just spoiled with wide parking spaces in California. And driving at night in the rain was not cup-of-tea. All in all, I liked it! :)

After a disappointing week in baseball, I am pretty excited for Sunday! The SF Giants are trailing the STL Cardinals 3-2 in the series. That means the last two games (yup, hopeful that there will be a game seven) will be in San Francisco, and I'm going to be there on Sunday for game six! Keep those particles coming, please!

Orange Giants October!

"Super excited!" is an understatement on how I'm feeling right now.

Later on today, we are returning to AT&T Park to watch some October baseball! That's right - OCTOBER BASEBALL! The San Francisco Giants are the 2012 National League West Champions! Boy, that sounds amazing! I went with Mike and my parents to the last home game of the regular season last week, and there was just no other way around it... so much fun! Tonight, I'll be  at the yard, again, for the first game of the NLDS against the Reds with Mike and my pops. Are we pumped? Damn right we are! :) An outcome that mirrors that of 2010 would be amazing. #fingerscrossed

Also, I just have to mention that our brother from across the Bay Bridge are the AL West Champs. Congrats, Athletics! Even though most of their fans are haters, and even though they didn't come out of the woods til the last week... I am rooting for them. Until we see them at least. ;)

In other news...

I think I'm adjusting just fine at my new location. The staff is a lot different than my previous, but they are fun and fantastic as well. :) I kinda feel lucky, actually. Hoping for a continuous enjoyable and compliant (because I am Ops, ha) time!

And my pup? I love her. She's trouble alright, but I love her. More of her teeth have been growing these past few days, so she has been extra active and has been biting a lot more. Poor girl, must be in pain. I also took her to the groomers for the first time today. I can see her face--- which made me love her just a tiny bit more. ;D
